Default would like to start collecting

Hello I would like to start collecting kits , what would be the best way to approach this ? Don't want to pay max for a kit , thinking picking up some current kits and some remakes and some from small companies. Then sit on them and add when I find something what would be a good gage on current value on a kit thanks chris

Collecting current kits? AC supply for Estes, Hobby Lobby with a 40% off coupon, Semroc of course w/ NAR and SAM discount, bargain sites such as Hobbylinc, ebay after you look up the retail price, etc.

Gerry Fortin's site provides pricing on Estes Kits to get an idea of what people are looking for and willing to pay for kits.
